""The intricately plotted mystery puts a new spin on several historical figures, including O'Keeffe and the Lindberghs, who are guests at the ranch. Lasky (""Calista Jacobs"" mysteries) provides vivid descriptions through O'Keeffe's eyes that bring the setting and timeframe to life."" --Lesa Holstine, Library Journal Review ""Georgia O'Keeffe as an amateur sleuth? A daring idea that works like a charm for the highly talented Kathryn Lasky. What a wide range of characters, from the very good to the very bad, she brings to life in this wonderful novel! And the portrait of the artist is superb."" --Peter Abrahams, author of The Tutor ""Kathryn Lasky draws Georgia O'Keeffe's New Mexico with her own skillful hand. The deftest of efforts, Light On Bone gives us a murder mystery as seen through the mind of a mid-century artist free enough from convention to catch what others miss. I couldn't put it down."" --Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked ""Kathryn Lasky's vivid Light on Bone applies the extraordinary eye of Georgia O'Keeffe to overlapping mysteries in 1930s New Mexico. O'Keeffe's righteous vision does not flinch from the truth, and we follow her gaze in fascination through this masterfully woven story."" --Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of Judgment and House on Fire ""Step aside Miss Marple, Eugenia Potter, and Kinsey Millhone--Georgia O'Keeffe is the new sleuth in town! Kathryn Lasky brings the rich imagination of her YA and Juvenile books to Light On Bone, a stunning, suspenseful adult mystery. Vivid prose brushstrokes bring the legendary artist, the Southwest landscape she loved, and a complicated plot with historical and imagined characters to life."" --Katherine Hall Page, author of the award-winning Faith Fairchild series
